The Edge 2026 🤍

What an incredible 6 months!! Playing the principle role in a full length work again in 2026. From rigorous solo, pas de duex, and ensemble work, to dancing around flying desks and arching backwards off the edge of a suspended elevator - The Edge has been an experience like no other.

I honestly cannot thank everyone enough for the tremendous amounts of support, it means the world to me and my heart is so full.🥹🤍

And a huge thank you to directors Bonnie and Suzy @thetrainingground__act for their dedication and hard work in creating this incredible show and bringing it to life, it really has been such a life changing experience. 💌

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Silence hums where focus stays
Gentle strength supports each sway
Edges soften beneath firm hands
The mind releases what it understands
No excess lingers in the space
Clarity guides each step with grace …
